Tom Holland is once again at the center of online chatter, this time all because of his striking appearance in the first teaser for ‘The Odyssey’. The upcoming epic action fantasy film is written and directed by Christopher Nolan and adapts Homer’s ancient Greek saga for the big screen.
Set against the aftermath of the Trojan War, the story follows Odysseus’ perilous journey home, filled with mythical creatures, gods, and brutal trials. Ahead of its release, the film has already generated massive buzz, and Holland’s brief moments in the trailer are enough to spark comparisons to another major star, which fans are eagerly pointing out online.
Tom Holland in The Odyssey trailer has fans talking
Soon after the teaser dropped, fans flooded social media claiming Tom Holland’s look and presence in ‘The Odyssey’ reminded them of Timothée Chalamet, particularly his role in ‘Dune’.
One fan wrote, “I get Timothée Chalamet Dune vibes, anyone too? ?,” while another added, “Hot take: he looks like he can replace Timothée in Dune due to this look.” Others defended Holland’s casting, saying, “He should take more of these roles… people tend to forget just how talented he actually is,” while one bluntly commented, “Tom Holland?? Timothée Chalamet would have been perfect for the role.”
In ‘The Odyssey’, Holland plays Telemachus, the determined son of Odysseus who sets out to find his missing father. Though his appearance in the trailer is brief, it shows him in rugged, period-appropriate styling that feels far removed from his Spider-Man image.
The teaser also highlights Matt Damon as Odysseus, Anne Hathaway as Penelope, Zendaya as Athena, Robert Pattinson as Antinous, Lupita Nyong’o, and Charlize Theron as Circe.
The trailer teases massive shipwrecks, the Trojan Horse, shadowy monsters, and sweeping journeys across land and sea, classic Nolan spectacle. Whether fans see Holland as Timothée-esque or entirely his own, one thing’s clear, his role has people talking.
